In 1940, President Roosevelt gave #FBI undercover agents authorization to gather intelligence about Nazi threats in western hemisphere. Over 7 years, 340 personnel made up the Special Intelligence Service. #FBI110 fbi.gov/history/brief-…
In 1941, the current #FBI seal came into limited use. The prior seal was the DOJ seal w/ extra band for FBI & the motto, “Fidelity, Bravery, and Integrity.” Special Agent Leo Gauthier created a new design, which has been the symbol ever since. #FBI110 fbi.gov/history/seal-m…
Each symbol & color in the #FBI seal has special significance. The blue represents justice. The circle of 13 stars denotes unity of purpose as exemplified by the original 13 states. The laurel leaf symbolizes academic honors, distinction & fame. #FBI110
In July of 1941, #FBI agents across the New York area arrested thirty-three members of the Duquesne Spy Ring, breaking the back-bone of Nazi espionage in the United States. fbi.gov/history/famous…
As the #FBI’s responsibilities grew, so did our workforce. We grew from 2,400 agents and support employees in 1940 to a war-time peak of more than 13,000 in 1944. #FBI110 fbi.gov/history/brief-…
